A Blast from the Past

I really like Legos. I am not sure if it is because I grew up with a brother who also had a fondness for those little bricks or because I am amazed at what you can build with them. Either way, I think they are fun and was really impressed when our mall had them on display.

Our mall is always hosting some type of exhibit. Last month the mall hosted an exhibit from an artist that copies famous paintings and then inserts Donald Ducks face into all of them. Donald Duck Mona Lisa, Donald Duck as The Birth of Venis by Botticelli.....you get the idea. It was a little strange.This month it was Legos in an attempt to gain interest in Legoland Deutschland, the Lego theme park located 2 hours south of us.

I hope to be able to visit this park before we leave Germany. In the center of the park is an area called Miniland. Here, several German towns have been recreated using over 26 million legos. This may not interest most people my age but I still think it is pretty impressive.

Here are some of the displays at our mall. I felt a little silly as I waited behind several 8 and 9 year old boys to get a good look.

About Us

We were loving life in Charlotte, NC when we were approached with the opportunity to move to Germany for work. We are now starting our adventure in Erlangen, Germany. We can not wait to explore Germany, learn the language and travel throughout Europe. We are viewing this adventure as an amazing gift and want to share it with our friends and family.

A shout out to Charlotte

When you leave home for an extended period of time you begin to think about all the things that you miss and appreciate back home. Phil and I are so blessed to have loving and supportive friends and family. It makes such a difference to receive emails and facebook messages from loved ones while we are so far from home. We wanted to remind our friends in Charlotte in particular of how much we appreciate and love them.

You all do such a great job celebrating each others accomplishments and supporting one another when needed. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives and look forward to see you all either here in Germany or back home when we visit. Thank you for the impact you have had on us. We look forward to future trips and adventures with you guys.
